Vegan Beef and Broccoli

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup reduced sodium tamari
• 1 teaspoon honey ((note: honey is not vegan but you can also use agave nectar or maple syrup if desired))
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves worth)
• 1-2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (about 2-inches of ginger)
• 1/2 tablespoon corn starch (or arrowroot powder)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 yellow onion)
• 10 ounces plant-based steak tips (I like Beyond Beef; can also use sliced portobello mushrooms or baked tofu*)
• 10 ounces broccoli florets
• 2 cups cooked white rice

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce. Whisk until smooth then set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the broccoli in a steamer basket, just until tender. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook for several minutes, until translucent.

4. 4

   To the skillet, add the vegan steak tips and cook for about 5 minutes more. Whisk the sauce once more then pour over the steak tips and stir to combine. Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and cook until heated through.

5. 5

   Serve warm with cooked rice, and enjoy!
